Diffusion of Innovation: Case of Co-Design of Cabins in Mobile Work Machine Industry

This paper describes the development of using virtual reality for work content in one application area over a decade. Virtual reality technology has developed rapidly; from walk-in CAVE-like virtual environments to head-mounted displays within a decade. In this paper, the development is studied thro...

In this paper, the development is studied through the lens of diffusion of innovation theory, which focuses not only on innovation itself, but also on the social system. The development of virtual technology is studied by one case, which is cabin design in the mobile work machine industry. This design process has been especially suitable for using virtual reality technology.https://www.mdpi.com/2073-431X/8/2/39virtual realitycabin designdiffusion of innovation
